Specification 'forming part of LettersPatent No. 40,499, dated November 3, 1863.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES Panama, in the coun State of New York, Improved HorsePower; clare that the following exact description of the ty 0f Chautauqua and have invented a new and and I do hereby deis a full, clear, and same, reference beying drawings, male ing a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a plan or top view of my invention 5 Fig. 2, a sectional view ot' the same, takenv in the linea' x, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate cornesponding parts in the two tgu res.

This invention relates to a new and improved n,

horse-power, designed for operating or transmitting power to that class of machines which work with a rectilinear reci ment-such, for instance,

proca-ting moveas reciprocating The invention consists in use of a wheel having a sweep attached to it, and its 'periphery provided with V-shaped teeth, with which a pallet engages, said pallet being attached to a nected to its ends, which rods are connected to other levers, the latter giving motion to rods which are connected to the device to be driven or operated.

To enable those skilled in understand and construct'rny proceed to descrlbe it.

A representsa rectangular frame, which supports the working parts ofthe device.

B is a wheel, which works freely on an upright axis, a, attached to the frame A, and has y o` it. To this sweep the horse or other animal is attached. The periphery of' the wheel B is provided with V-shaped teeth bwhich are shown clearly in Fig. l.

G represents what may be termed a pallet,

the art4 to fully invention, I will N. PEAsE; of

the employment orl lever which has rods con-U the same being a shortl end with a V- ever provided at fach shaped projection, c,in which a friction-roller, d, is fitted. This pallet U is attached tofa lever, l), which is considerably longer than the pallet, the leverD being fitted on an upright fu-lcrunI-pin, e, attached to the frame A and passing' up through the center of both the lever and pallet.

To each end of th by a pivot, f, a rod, E. T throughslots in the ends of a cross-bar, f/,in the frame A, and they are connected at their outer ends to levers F, which are secured in the frame A and have ea `t0 their'ends. Theends` ot the rods G are connected at their outer ends by ,'which are'iitted between frame A. To these slidesz' driven is attached. T such a distance from the wheel B that the teeth b of the latter will, as said wheel rotates, act upon the rollers d and communicate a vibrating movement to the D, and the slides t' will have a reciprocating movement imparted to them through the medium ofthe rods E, levers F, and rods G.

The arrangement, it will be seen, is extremely simple and efcient, occupies but a limited space, and may be constructed at a reasonable cost. v

-Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The wheel B, provided with V-shaped teeth b, in combination with the pallet C, lever D, and the rods E G and leversF, or their equivalents, all arranged to operate substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
